- Jorah Mormont sets sail alongside his prisoner, Tyrion. Cersei makes a move against the Tyrells. Jaime and Bronn sneak into Dorne. Ellaria and the Sand Snakes make their plans. Melisandre tempts Jon. The Harpies attack.
- Jorah Mormont steals a boat to navigate with his captive, Tyrion. Aboard a merchant ship, Jaime and Bronn sail to Dorne to rescue Myrcella. The Iron Bank is charging their loan and Cersei sends a representative of the Small Council to negotiate with the bankers. She then has a meeting with the High Sparrow and gives an army and power to his followers to neutralize the capital's sinners, including the patrons of Littlefinger's brothel, and Ser Loras Tyrell, the brother of Margaery. Tommen and his Kingsguard are stared down by the Faith Militant, and the king refuses to fight his way to the Tyrell knight. The disappointed Margaery leaves his side to stay with her family. Stannis Baratheon plans to head to Winterfell before the snow. Jon Snow is summoning nobles to help the Night's Watch with men and supplies and he has a dilemma with the name of the Bolton family. Melisandre tries to seduce Jon Snow, but he resists the temptation and does not break his vows. Shireen, restless at Castle Black, approaches her father and he informs her of what happened to her when she was a child. Sansa visits the tombs of her ancestors and Littlefinger tells a story of her family tells her that he will depart shortly to meet Cersei. He also advises her that the even the best men can be manipulated. In Dorne, Jaime and Bronn are found by a patrol and need to fight to survive. Ellaria Sand wants war but she is warned that Jaime Lannister and his mercenary accomplice are in her lands. Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys has a meeting with Hizdahr zo Loraq, and she persists in her refusal to allow gladiatorial combat in Meereen. Tensions between Daenerys' government and the insurgent Sons of the Harpy culminate in the Harpies' ambushing of a party of Unsullied, and the only survivors are Grey Worm and the mortally wounded Ser Barristan Selmy.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Cersei continues to spin her web by suggesting to the High Sparrow that the Faith Militant should be armed and given the authority to persecute the sinners of King's Landing. Soon, the organisation is terrorising the community, causing particular havoc at one of Littlefinger's brothels. Cersei also points the finger at Margaery's brother, Ser Loras Tyrell, and he too finds himself imprisoned. Margaery is outraged and expects her royal husband Tommen to do something, but his excursion to the site of the disruption only results in his being stared down by the Faith Militant. Just as Jaime and Bronn arrive in Dorne, Ellaria Sand and Oberyn's three daughters, known as the Sand Snakes, decide to take matters into their own hands. In Meereen, the Sons of the Harpy take the fight to the Unsullied after the power struggle reaches its climax. Meanwhile, at Castle Black, Jon Snow has to resist temptation when Melisandre offers herself to him.—garykmcd
- Jaime and skeptic Bronn arrive by merchant ship in Dorne on secret mission to rescue bastard daughter Myrcella and deal the hard way with a mounted patrol of four guardsman, but the bribed captain still betrayed them to Oberyn's vindictive lover Ellaria Sand and three daughters, who plan to stir a war as Sand Snakes. Prince and master of coin Mace Tyrell feels honored to be dispatched to renegotiate the crown's debt with the iron bank, but the other small council members realize she's culling them systematically. Tyrion is abducted by Jorah Mormont and amused to learn he's to be offered to Daenerys, his destination, as a make up present by the banished knight. Inspired by Cersei, the High Sparrow converts his purist sect into a militia reviving the zealot terror of the Faith Militant, which spares no 'sinners' instant 'justice' without recourse. Olyvar can just escape from the brothel, but even lover prince Loras is imprisoned, and despite queen Maergery's best effort boy king Tommen only gets a sanctimonious commiseration from Cersei and lacks the guts to order the golden guard to make way for him to the 'praying' high sparrow. Despite a moment of carnal temptation when Melisandre undresses on his lap, Jon Snow sticks to his sworn duty, staying in Castle Black. Petyr counsels Sansa in the Stark crypt now she accepts to be married off to Ramsay Bolton. Daenery's stubborn refusal to allow voluntary gladiator games further stirs the armed revolt of the growing Sons of the Harpy who overcome a large Unsullied patrol, killed including Ser Barristan, only commander Grey Worm escapes.—KGF Vissers
- Cersei authorizes arming the Sparrows as the Faith Militant, who then arrest Loras Tyrell for homosexuality. Queen Margaery is enraged, but Tommen proves too weak to countermand them. Melisandre attempts to seduce Jon as a means to convince him to accompany Stannis to Winterfell. In Winterfell, before Littlefinger heads to King's Landing, he dispels Sansa's misgivings about marrying Ramsay, promising that Stannis will defeat the Boltons and rescue her, and even if not, she can manipulate Ramsay. Bronn and Jaime secretly land in Dorne to retrieve Myrcella; hearing this, Ellaria and her Sand Snakes plot to avenge Oberyn's death by abducting Myrcella. Jorah intends to redeem himself to Daenerys by presenting Tyrion as a prisoner. In Meereen, Loraq again appeals to Daenerys to reopen the fighting pits, a local tradition; the Sons of the Harpy ambush an Unsullied patrol inside the citadel, critically wounding Grey Worm and killing Ser Barristan Selmy.
- Cersei authorizes forming the Faith Militant (in partnership with the High Sparrow, bringing religious police to the King's Landing. The high Faith Militant are against drinking, whore houses, gay fucking and all anti-religious symbols of modern debauchery and excess. All such nefarious establishments in Kings' Landing are raided including Petyr's brothels), who then arrest Loras for this sexual relations with the same sex. Margaery is enraged (she alleges that Cersei is angry that Margaery is close to Tommen and putting Loras in a cell is her revenge and a way for her to have leverage on Margaery). Cersei tells Tommen that she is not holding Loras and asks him to speak with the High Sparrow himself. Tommen is barred to visit the Sept to meet the High Sparrow and is called a Bastard by the people living near the Sept. Tommen decides against confronting the High Sparrow and retreats. Margaery decides to send word to Olenna.
The Iron Bank has called 1/10 of the King's Landing debt. The crown can barely afford half of the payments required. Tyrell offers to front the gold to the Bank. Cersei sends Lord Tyrell to negotiate better terms with the Bank and Meryn Trant (Ian Beattie) to keep an eye on him.
Jon writes to all the Lords to send men and supplies to the wall. But he refuses to write to Roose Bolton. Sam tells Jon to be practical. Melisandre attempts to seduce Jon as a means to convince him to accompany Stannis to Winterfell. Jon refuses as he is still in love with Ygritte. Shireen believes that Stannis does not love her. Stannis reveals that when Shireen was a merchant, his enemies presented him a toy doll by stealth, soaked in gray-scale poison. Unknowingly, Stannis gave the doll to Shireen who loves the doll and pressed it to her face. By the time Stannis found out the truth about the doll, Shireen already had gray-scale and Stannis was told that she would die. But Stannis called in every healer and Measter to treat Shireen. Thats how much he loved her.
In Winterfell, Littlefinger prepares to return to King's Landing. He meets Sansa and tells her that Stannis will try and conquer Winterfell before he marches on King's Landing. Its only with the Army of the North that he will dare to challenge the Lannisters. Petyr tells Sansa that if Stannis defeats Roose, then she becomes the Wardeness of the North, else if Stannis looses, she can marry Ramsay and still be close to power. Before leaving, he dispels Sansa's misgivings about Ramsay, saying that even if Stannis fails to defeat the Boltons and rescue her, she can easily manipulate Ramsay.
Bronn knows that they are sailing to Dorne to free Jaime's daughter. He also knows that Jaime was the one who set Tyrion free. Jaime says that Tyrion killed his father and he will kill Tyrion if he finds him. Bronn and Jaime secretly land in Dorne to retrieve Myrcella, but a sea captain (whom Jamie had bribed) informs the Sand Snakes; Ellaria wants the Sand Snakes to avenge Oberyn's death by abducting Myrcella and thus prompting the Lannisters to go to war against the Dornish. She has 3 daughters Obara, Nymeria and Tyene. Jaime and Bronn are able to fight off the riders sent to intercept them. They proceed towards the water gardens where Myrcella has been kept.
Jorah intends to redeem himself to Daenerys by giving her Tyrion as a prisoner. Tyrion says he was headed to meet Daenerys himself. In Meereen, Loraq makes another appeal to reopen the fighting pits; the Sons of the Harpy ambush an Unsullied patrol inside the citadel, critically wounding Grey Worm (Jacob Anderson) and killing Selmy.
